It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

ingredients
2 lemons
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup packed mint sprigs, plus more for garnish
finely crushed ice
2 1/4 cups best quality Kentucky bourbon
directions
Chill small glasses or mint julep cups.
Using a sharp paring knife, remove all peel from lemons; set peel aside. Juice lemons. Set aside.
In a small pan, combine sugar and the water and bring to a boil. Add lemon peel and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand until cool, about 45 minutes.
Place mint in a medium bowl. Using a wooden spoon, press down on mint to crush leaves. Pour sugar syrup over leaves, then let stand at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
Strain, discarding mint and peel. Add lemon juice to syrup and mix to combine.
Fill chilled glasses with enough crushed ice to slightly mound over the tops. Into each glass, pour 1 1/2 ounces (3 Tbs.) bourbon and 2 Tbs. syrup.
Stir well and garnish with a mint sprig. Serve at once.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
